My dog was on Apoquel for a year, it never fully worked. She developed the skin allergies/ inflammation after we almost lost her from IMHA due to one of her vaccines. We are still dealing with the itchies, but I’m so glad I I took her off the Apoquel. I have lost all faith in the Pharmaceutical industry as a whole.
I believe Apoquel gave my baby breast tumors, and other lumps and bumps. It costs a fortune for the meds and then she had 3 removed. EXPENSIVE!! I was just told that if they have any kind of cancer, it can spread and go straight to the brain. My baby was “maybe” diagnosed with a brain tumor and was treated for meningitis and I am just lost. She is NOT the same dog. The tumors removed were benign, and I wish that I never had her cut on. I, too think that all vets are effing quacks!!
@@eva_marie633Sorry to hear about your pup. My dog had a bump the size of a tennis ball from Apoquel. I gave her A holistic combo and now the bump is shrinking and the size of a pea.
My dog starts with allergies in the spring but last year it got so bad where i actually had to bring him to the vet they gave him an antibiotic & apoquel then he got better but they said if i need more apoquel he would have to get blood work .thats out & i don't want my dog having apoquel anyway . I ordered your Quercetin & using it for this years allergies i think its helping his not as itchy as last year & i do all the healthy things you do for your tula& pipy❣️I never take my dog to vets cause they just want to vacinate him with unnecessary crap I refuse!! I wish there was a vet like you around then i would go🙏✝️ Thank you for sharing all your excellent knowledge ❤😊
My baby was on apoquel for 4 or 5 years and I took her off of it because it was causing other issues. I started giving her coconut oil baths and what I mean by bath is I just barely warm the coconut oil up take a handful rub my hands together and rub it all over her body until she's completely coated. She has not itched or scratched since. Coconut oil with a miracle for me!
I took dog to vet yesterday and it was going to be $500, but I refused the prednisone, etc and got it down to $225, including the Apoquel and anti anxiety med and flea pill. I am regretting getting any of it after reading about them.
Our soon to be 9 year old chocolate lab has had chronic itching since ,coincidentally given Bravecto , around a year old. It got so bad we almost thought we’d lose her. Finally while in trial stage, we tried Apoquel, but it didn’t work, she got the runs really bad right away . Then we did Cytopoint a few times, it appeared to have saved her life, but now she has monthly seizures. Now I bath her frequently with a moisturizing aloe shampoo and use a vinegar rinse. I changed the old girls diet according to veterinarians recommendation, but it didn’t help. I even got rid of all house plants once but that didn’t help either. Good luck to all, so many dogs with allergies nowadays.
After much suffering and tremendous hair loss, I discovered my dog had a severe allergic reaction to the detergents used to clean our carpets. When the old carpet was replaced, the severe skin issues disappeared. Gone.
Apoquel is the absolute worst medication. It changed my previous dog’s behavior and led to mast cell tumor that erupted and took him from us far too soon. The alternatives you offer are appreciated more than I could say. THANK YOU!!!
Our golden had an oral carcinoma after 6 mos on apoquel, BUT, he's a 14 yr old golden, so I cant be sure of the linkage. Luckily, they got it all and he survived.

Thank you so much for the video. For those of you out there struggling with extreme itchy dogs and nothing seems to help, Dr Jones is spot on! My 2 yr old black lab was itching, we tried a lot of the natural remedies without much success. When itching became extremely worse our vet put her on apoquel then prednisone and they did not work. I would like to mention that scrapings and skin biopsy are not reliable for mites/mange testing as we did both and it came back negative however our vet still suspected on top of her already 'possible' allergy issues she had mange. Mange is apparently quit rare and is missed diagnosed often. Our poor girl was loosing hair and declining in health at an extremely rapid pace so she was treated for mange/allergy's and secondary skin infection with antibiotics all at once.... This stopped the hair loss in its tracks. WE may never know for sure however suspect sarcoptes mange in the end (from rolling on a dead fox - why do they do that! but they do--- Gross) with possible allergic reaction to the mites and the skin infection is common secondary issue. Its been almost 4 weeks and her hair is mostly grown back. She is now off all meds from our vet and she is doing well, still itching a little but manageable now. To try get to bottom of the minor itch we did food sensitivity testing and are currently in week 6 of pork/squash diet only and after two months we will start to add one thing at a time back into her diet. Good luck folks, but certainly dont rule out those parasites even if testing doesnt show them. Appreciate your passion to help people help their beloved pets Dr Jones. Will be watching your CBD webinar tonight :)
This is happening with my pup , they said no mites but idk they might be right tho cause I have two other dogs and there fine .. but my girl has really red ears that are very itchy and lost hair around her eyes and face is very itchy .. and her paws a puffy red in between .. she was seeming to get a little better but now it seems her head area is very bad now 😩 what did you end up doing for the itchy ? I think my pup has environmental allergies I’m not sure I just feel so bad and she’s also loosing hair
You are an incredible human being Thank you for all you do to enable us to provide optimal natural health for our precious pets You are appreciated and loved
My dog does well on apoquel ,only been on it for 2 months. I am ,however, gonna stop giving it to him tho. Its to difficult to get it. Depending on other people to get anything done, even when you are paying them , is insanely difficult . I do give him a raw diet and that does help. Imma add sweet potato and carrots too. Really appreciate these videos. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for all the advice. Lots of vets aren't 100% honest sadly. We all just want what's best for our pets
Benadryl really works for my dog when the itchies start up. Discovered he was really allergic to vegetable oils - olive, canola, coconut. Only Avocado oil seem to be ok. Since they put oil in everything, I had to start a homemade diet. He’s doing much better. The food trial helped pinpoint the oil issue.
I just ran across your Channel today I want to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, not many doctors wouldn't do that so doctor God bless you

My rescue who I adopted a year ago is on Apoquel and I want to get him off it. He is now taking about 3-4 tablets/week instead of 7. I am cooking his own food and giving probiotics, salmon oil and a good supplement for dogs. I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. Also, he is allergic to chicken, but tolerates ground beef and turkey well, which I alternate.
Hi Dr Jones. My 9 year schnauzer is always beset with skin allergies, which I hear is common in this breed. I've tried 50/50 apple cider vinegar with water, F10 disinfectant spray, allergic to poultry so he's only on beef, pork and salmon with lots of herbs, blueberry, pumpkin, red rice (on and off), carrots. He was on Apoquel and it worked wonders ( he stopped itching, licking his paws and back, and going under the bed and scratching his back using the bottom frame but I read couple of medical journals that it is an immuno suppressant and the studies were not long term and there's been cases of liver, kidney and even shorter span of life. I have mobility issues (5 surgeries in 4 years) and due to unemployment, I do not have funds to buy him supplements and stuffs. The vet said he's allergic to environmental pollutants which unfortunately my flat is facing a big park and monsoon drain that leads to the beach connecting to another country's oil refinery. He hates showering, and its a struggle and have injured my operated knees and shoulders a few occasions. I can't do food elimination cos he will stop eating the same kibble regardless adding in pumpkin, broccoli and carrots (all needs to be pureed or he won't touch it), hence I buy salmon (without the chicken meal though they claim full salmon kibble), Nature Pro lamb, and Northpaw lobster kibble in addition to the meats as listed above. Unique proteins like venison, crocodile meat, rabbits are really expensive. I do not know what to do. His private parts have thickened black skin. He's my soulmate though he bullies me but also my ESA who keeps me company during my chronic insomnia and helps me with my social anxiety. Sorry for the word vomit lol stay safe and thank you for your many advices.
I'm @ 7:45 of the video and am yelling at Doc Jones: give Pipi the darned treat already!!! Lolz, poor babe, the doc is just moving his hands all around while holding it and the little one is like, come on Dad! :D love this channel, thanks Dr. Jones, for all you do for our furbabes and those of us who love them!!!
Best video so far about this ichy madness, not looking forward to doing all that but makes sence especially at this point...my poor baby is so miserable 😢
...oh gosh, this has been my Old English Bulldog story!! I just don't want to keep doing the drugs. I have tried coconut oil,but I believe that I'm going to address his diet to encorperate fish. .I definitely need this information from our most favorite vet! Thank you for all you do. Your calmness really addresses my doggle mommy fears!
One of my dog even had super sensitive skin, even visited a dog dermatologist…until I figured it was the flea/ tick oil med that he would set him off. Still had sensitive skin but not as bad.
How about finding out what your dog is allergic to and avoid it! My Lhasa was allergic to chicken, I had no idea that dogs could be allergic to chicken! She saw about 5 vets in 10 years and I didn’t figure it out until she had an exceptionally bad reaction after eating a hard boiled egg every day for a week. I fed her a limited ingredient food that had no chicken products and she never had an issue again.
Like he said yeast is secondary problem, my dog had that too but it was because of the chicken allergy. If you don’t figure out what is causing the yeast you won’t be able to keep it at bay
Thanks for yet again another video like this, lol- I got the revolution stuff for fleas and heart worms- he’s so allergic to flea bites, he needed some solid protection. 😅 🐶
Turns out my dog is super allergic to flea bites! Unfortunately only Bayer advantix or frontline eradicates the issue completely! Just gotta keep that schedule since moving to California where the fleas live all year round.
My cat responds well to Apoquel. He is taking one fouth of a tablet every other day. Before the medication, he was miserable. Now, he is happy and his coat is shiny.
This is my baby, miserably, scratching, licking 😢, ear infection inside, yeast infection outside. I got her colostrum and home made foods. She has multiple bumps and welts. Now she’s got the paw ouches. I feel so helpless to help her
Thank you Dr. Jones for another great video as I am going thru this with my little Shih Tzu right now with all the pollen and now fleas are getting bad in our yard here in the South. Going to apply these steps to help my little one get ease from this itching. Love and blessings
I adopted my year old Blue Heeler about 4.5 months ago from a kill shelter. They had shaved him and cut his nails extremely short. He has allergies. Constantly itching. Watery eyes. Runny nose. Hotspots. I tried many things. Zyrtec helped for awhile and so did changing to a fish based diet. He takes NexGard and Interceptor Plus monthly. Still itched. Then around September 1st, it was like cutting off a light switch. He suddenly stopped itching. I took him off all meds except NexGard and Interceptor Plus. Still no itching!! My vet thinks his problem is seasonal. I hope it never comes back!!
Here in Australia and New Zealand they use advantage when I had my 19 year old poodle the groomer he had was very professional she used a cap full of Dettol in his bath and I still use it on my other dog it really is good, thank you Dr Jones for your help and information love and blessings to you all 🐾🐾🐾🐾😺😺🐕🐕♥️♥️
Relook at the food. Most traditional vets know little about vet nutrition. Just like for humans you would go to a nutritionist. I have found ... in my experience... traditional vets give horrendous diet advice. Avoid corn (maize), byproducts, wheat, powdered cellulose, soy,,, to name a few
Hi Connie- your dog probably has a yeast problem. Carbohydrates in food feeds yeast. Do some research, look at what has carbs and start cutting way way back on them. Change the diet right away.
My dog had no issues until his last injection. I have spent so much money trying to make him well and now deeply regret allowing him to have any injections. Never again.
@@anoodono1841 He has a skin condition that irritates him. I need to bathe him in special shampoo every 2 to 3 days as the skin condition makes him smell bad. He is allergic to most dog foods. Right now I have him on a kangaroo limited ingredient one which he seems to tolerate so far. He is very susceptible to ear infections. However he is a very sweet and happy dog despite his trials.
My dog started getting these problems like your dog in that photo, after moving to the country , I started wondering After seeing one coyote with out hair running up my hill , we couldn't figure out what kind of beast this was, looking at photos of coyotes with the mango, it was a coyote, this mange seems to spread around, he must be walking around looking for my little corgi dog to have for lunch, I know they are nasty, I try not to get far from my front door . I'm going to ask my veterinarian for that stuff revolution . That you so much , thank you ❤
My dog ears get Rae and bloody and her whole body gets rid and itchy! Nothing has helped. I was even told to put her down but she is a happy healthy itchy dog
Dr. Jones I rescued a Lab 5 months ago and she has terrible anxiety and allergies. The vet has been giving her Cytopoint. What are your thoughts regarding this medicine? Thank you
Yes...my vet says my dog has grass allergies. Licks his inflamed paws, and staph broke out on his belley. Doctor has him on prednisone and an antibiotic. He says it may break out again every allergy season. Our Florida grass is mostly weeds, which survive our hot summers, but are terrible allergens. Please give us an info video on grass allergies. Thanks so much!
My question to you, my dog seems to be allergic to everything! Pollen drops sent him off, house dust... If I have a lazy week, foods, fleas (on top of that now) grass, it's never ending. He's on pregnazone everyday year round. It's horrible. I will try everything your suggesting in this video.
My dog seems to only have problems in the summer red bumps, hair falls out. Itchy paws. I believe it's a flea allergy but I don't want to use chemicals. Ans the oils r not working. Nor is the quercetin.
My yorkie had an itchy ear at about 1 yr old. We have tried everything with him. Apoquel, cytopoint, Benadryl, Zyrtec, Claritin, ear washes nothing has helped! I'm at a lose with what to do. I'm going to try green tea and apple cider vinegar. I e loosely tried the ACV but I don't have high hopes for my boy.
Question for you? I would like to give my dogs vitamin d could you tell me what would be the best product. They are both 10 lb Yorkie Maltese and a Yorkie poodle they are 10 years old. I hope you get this thank you Lynn
Hi Dr I have a Chihuahua dog started scratching her skin especially her belly and near her ears and also her legs biting her paws. She has also some swollen white like a pimple spots . I wonder what are the reasons for this. Thank you .
I’m dealing with the same issue. I believe my dog is suffering from seasonal allergies because she has all the classic symptoms. I’ve been feeding home made meals mixed with just food for dogs to give her essential nutrients but I’ve seen bumps then they go away. I’m wondering if it’s mosquitoes too. She’s always indoors but when she goes outside sneezing red nose, ears, itching, and I’m wondering if mosquitoes bites exaggerated the seasonal allergies. Just want my girl to feel better. She’s never had this. She’s 8 and the sneezing starts the minute we try to leave the house. Poor thing thinks I’m punishing her when I don’t take her out and when I bathe her.
I cannot find that exact bottle of aged extract that you have .can you please give me another one that is safe to use. I have notice a lot of them by that brand have lots of other stuff mixed in unless I get the bottle you showed but I cannot find it online. And is it safe to give to a dog with mitral valve disease. Thank you❤
Reason I ask, my son's 14 yr old golden has always struggled with allergies and yeast. We manage it pretty well, but every now and then we have a flare that just goes crazy. Right now, we've tried everything, homeopathic and main stream medicine....nothing's putting a dent in it. His legs are brown, his ears are a mess, and his poor belly looks lavender. He's now opening sores and we're seeing skin damage. I've been researching fluconazole for use in dogs, and it appears to be a cure of last resort. We're very cautious, given his age. Figured I'd ask here, see if anyone had used it or knew how safe or unsafe it might be.
A vetinary explained to me that skinproblems and allergies often go together with bad gut health and a leaky gut. She said that the output must be good from the dieth the dog is consuming. And that a complete home made fresh meal can help a dog’s gut barrier and skin barrier to recover. Important is the absence of gluten and conservatives as those are gut damaging ingrediënts And the importance of omega 3 and 6 in the right ratio, as they will help the skin barrier to recover. She told me this yesterday as in my area we now have home delivery of home made dogmeals and I had asked her wich menu would be a good choice. So very good question of the leaky gut!
@@angeliqueruis4520 no need for home-made meals. Just give them RAW meat, organs, & bones. They're carnivores after all, though, for some reason....folk seem to forget that. Folk don't even know why dog is man's best friend. It's because we hunted meat together, plus their unwavering loyalty!
My dog is allergic to a lot ... I wanted to give her omega fats (she has limping in the front legs), but she is allergic to salmon...all her dinners have sweet potatoes, carrots, free range chicken, coconut oil, turmeric, white rice and Hills Science Diet W/D. Do you think that is enough? Our vet calls me an amazing dog mom, but I'm feeling compared to a not very high level (my husband says I'm being hard on myself) , but honestly...can I do ANYTHING to help her???
My vet said to get the dog off of ALL kibble. It is full of terrible ingredients. If your dog suffers with yeast infections, you have to cut the carbs out of the food. Yeast thrive on carbs. Dog food bags never mention the percentage of carbs in their food, because if they did... you'd never buy it.
Hills has poor ingredients that cause inflammation. Inflammation is the root to most medical issues. Please stop any foods with corn, rice, grains, barley, soy bean oil, too many peas, sugars, etc. These foods are bad, and cause many problems for dogs and people. I turned my painful disabilities around, and my precious baby's (dog) disabilities around, and other dog's and people's too. Your baby's arthritis pain will virtually go away if you do this. I counsel on the nutrition we need VS what advertising leads us or brainwashes us to believe we need, what big food businesses want us to purchase, what non-educated, in nutrition, Dr.'s and DVM's tell us, and just the simple fact that the population majority are simply unaware, because we trust our FDA, big food companies, advertising, government, and so on, to protect us and to be on our side. But that's why American's, humans and animals, are sick. My dog, myself, other dogs, and other people that cut these dangerous foods out, and more, are happy healthy living proof. Please, also, do not believe everything on the internet. It takes a lot of research to wisely come up with the correct answers. This Vet I like, but the internet is full of opinions trying to look like fact. Be careful. And I think we need to remember, Dr.'s are simply people that carry pride and do not like to admit they don't know. Therefore, they use what they've been told/marketed to them, to give an answer, instead of swallowing the pride and admitting they don't know. But we still have each other's backs. I appreciate Dr. Jones he has helped me learn and research more on allergies, and helped heal my precious baby's allergies. Thank you Dr.
My 16 yr old Yorkie/Pug mix is starting to chew on warts or moles! To the point of them sometimes bleeding.The vet said there’s nothing to worry about and they are harmless but I hate to see him chewing on them I tried an e collar but he can still reach a couple of them. Can you suggest any help please?
Dr. Jones we moved from CA to AL and our dog began itching immensely after our move! She had been on all medications to stop the itch but still itches. UGH. In CA it is rather rare, I understand to have incidences of Heart Worm so she never was on this medication but after we got to AL because our dog is on incontenance meds I went to the Vet early and was informed of the Heart Worm in our state. After she started this meds she started itchin like CRAZY. DO you agree this med can cause this side affect?
My dog is allergic to chicken but still scratches so im at present trying beef and rice with a little conut oil been on this for a few wk and she still scratching im now thinking it may be the flea and worming tablet off my vet
Dr. Jones, I emailed you via the support email and I tweeted at you, have a question about one of your videos and really need quick advice, what is the best way to get in touch with you?
My dog has environmental allergies. I had him tested and food is not his problem. He is on steroids because apoquel did not work for him and he still is itchy.
Krill oil is also a good option as it has better bioavailability and lesser toxin contamination than fish oil. 😊 drjonesnaturalpet.com/supplements/dr-jones-ultimate-omega-3-formula-for-dogs-and-cats-60-softgels.html
Hi Dr Jones thanks so much. I want to give him a good homemade diet. I want to give him vitamins too but not seafood eg mussels in it as they upset him.. what do u think is good overall multi vits for senior dog. ?
@@ClariceAust thanks Helene. But it's the multivits I'm more interested to find out. A lot of senior dog multivits have shellfish in them but my dogs stomach does like them.

I've tried 50/50 apple cider vinegar with water, F10 disinfectant spray, allergic to poultry so he's only on beef, pork and salmon with lots of herbs, blueberry, pumpkin, red rice (on and off), carrots. He was on Apoquel and it worked wonders ( he stopped itching, licking his paws and back, and going under the bed and scratching his back using the bottom frame but I read couple of medical journals that it is an immuno suppressant and the studies were not long term and there's been cases of liver, kidney and even shorter span of life. I have mobility issues (5 surgeries in 4 years) and due to unemployment, I do not have funds to buy him supplements and stuffs. The vet said he's allergic to environmental pollutants which unfortunately my flat is facing a big park and monsoon drain that leads to the beach connecting to another country's oil refinery. He hates showering, and its a struggle and have injured my operated knees and shoulders a few occasions. I can't do food elimination cos he will stop eating the same kibble regardless adding in pumpkin, broccoli and carrots (all needs to be pureed or he won't touch it), hence I buy salmon (without the chicken meal though they claim full salmon kibble), Nature Pro lamb, and Northpaw lobster kibble in addition to the meats as listed above. Unique proteins like venison, crocodile meat, rabbits are really expensive. I do not know what to do. His private parts have thickened black skin. He's my soulmate though he bullies me but also my ESA who keeps me company during my chronic insomnia and helps me with my social anxiety. Sorry for the word vomit lol stay safe and thank you for your many advices.

I'm @ 7:45 of the video and am yelling at Doc Jones: give Pipi the darned treat already!!! Lolz, poor babe, the doc is just moving his hands all around while holding it and the little one is like, come on Dad! :D love this channel, thanks Dr. Jones, for all you do for our furbabes and those of us who love them!!!
I was doing the same thing, I laughed when I came across your reply. Waving it around in his face.
@@heapbig5352still feel bad, poor lil furbabe, being teased like that, lololol!
I’m watching this for my dog but seeing that dog in the video wag her tail distracted me, she’s too cute!!!
We used the anti dandruff shampoo on our dog Chloe. What a change! No more smelly itchy dog. Thank you Dr Jones 🙂
That work for my dog, also!
What kind?
Can you use head and shoulders ?
@@mojavewolf1 that is what I used.
Is head and shoulders safe to use on dogs?
Such a great video! After visiting Vet for so many times about an itching dog, I so regret not seeing this video sooner! Thanks Dr Jones.
Best video so far about this ichy madness, not looking forward to doing all that but makes sence especially at this point...my poor baby is so miserable 😢
...oh gosh, this has been my Old English Bulldog story!!
I just don't want to keep doing the drugs.
I have tried coconut oil,but I believe that I'm going to address his diet to encorperate fish. .I definitely need this information from our most favorite vet! Thank you for all you do.
Your calmness really addresses my doggle mommy fears!
One of my dog even had super sensitive skin, even visited a dog dermatologist…until I figured it was the flea/ tick oil med that he would set him off.
Still had sensitive skin but not as bad.
That's good it got better.
I love this Doctor, gosh his videos are worth their weight in GOLD ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thats one very happy dog ❤
Ty Dr Jones! Appreciate these "itchy" videos
Thank you for this very informative video. It’s a constant battle with my dogs itching. Appreciate you sharing these holistic options. God bless you!
You're welcome
How about finding out what your dog is allergic to and avoid it! My Lhasa was allergic to chicken, I had no idea that dogs could be allergic to chicken! She saw about 5 vets in 10 years and I didn’t figure it out until she had an exceptionally bad reaction after eating a hard boiled egg every day for a week. I fed her a limited ingredient food that had no chicken products and she never had an issue again.
Like he said yeast is secondary problem, my dog had that too but it was because of the chicken allergy. If you don’t figure out what is causing the yeast you won’t be able to keep it at bay
Thanks for yet again another video like this, lol- I got the revolution stuff for fleas and heart worms- he’s so allergic to flea bites, he needed some solid protection. 😅 🐶
Thank you for the information and explanation and for offering remedies! Very helpful!
Turns out my dog is super allergic to flea bites! Unfortunately only Bayer advantix or frontline eradicates the issue completely! Just gotta keep that schedule since moving to California where the fleas live all year round.
My cat responds well to Apoquel. He is taking one fouth of a tablet every other day. Before the medication, he was miserable. Now, he is happy and his coat is shiny.
Most comments say it causes cancer
This is my baby, miserably, scratching, licking 😢, ear infection inside, yeast infection outside.
I got her colostrum and home made foods. She has multiple bumps and welts. Now she’s got the paw ouches. I feel so helpless to help her
Good haul. Nice to see Willow and John. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day! 💲🌴
Thank you Dr. Jones for another great video as I am going thru this with my little Shih Tzu right now with all the pollen and now fleas are getting bad in our yard here in the South. Going to apply these steps to help my little one get ease from this itching. Love and blessings
Hello Dr. Jones, you’re the angels 😇
Thank you for your insights! Brilliant!
I adopted my year old Blue Heeler about 4.5 months ago from a kill shelter. They had shaved him and cut his nails extremely short. He has allergies. Constantly itching. Watery eyes. Runny nose. Hotspots.
I tried many things. Zyrtec helped for awhile and so did changing to a fish based diet. He takes NexGard and Interceptor Plus monthly. Still itched.
Then around September 1st, it was like cutting off a light switch. He suddenly stopped itching. I took him off all meds except NexGard and Interceptor Plus. Still no itching!!
My vet thinks his problem is seasonal. I hope it never comes back!!
Another excellent video. Thank you!
You're welcome
Very helpful. Thank you!
thank you i got your new upload much easier to here thank you
Here in Australia and New Zealand they use advantage when I had my 19 year old poodle the groomer he had was very professional she used a cap full of Dettol in his bath and I still use it on my other dog it really is good, thank you Dr Jones for your help and information love and blessings to you all 🐾🐾🐾🐾😺😺🐕🐕♥️♥️
Yes but I’ve heard they can be incorrect, might say your dog is allergic to something but really isn’t .. it’s a tough situation all around 😫
Soap with oil of cade also works VERY well.
Thank you for all these amazing tips!
My vet gave my dog a shot that kept her from scratching for a year. But I’m worried about the toxicity.
Thanks
Why is that just the cutest name. Pippie or Pippy?
Thank you so much for this video!!! I appreciate it so much!!!
Hey Dr Jones, can you get your dogs allergies tested from blood? Just like they do for us humans and does it provide accurate results? Thanks
Swore I just watched this yesterday. Great vid again! Thank you!
He took it down and uploaded it again. I couldn’t access the first one.
yes i couldn't with the music hard sometimes to make out what he was saying
My dog has food and environmental allergies her food is what our vet said to use. She eats at her paws and nails
Relook at the food. Most traditional vets know little about vet nutrition. Just like for humans you would go to a nutritionist. I have found ... in my experience... traditional vets give horrendous diet advice.
Avoid corn (maize), byproducts, wheat, powdered cellulose, soy,,, to name a few
Hi Connie- your dog probably has a yeast problem. Carbohydrates in food feeds yeast. Do some research, look at what has carbs and start cutting way way back on them. Change the diet right away.
No her food is fine she doesn’t have any ear infections are any hot spot but she chew her nail on her paw
My dog had no issues until his last injection. I have spent so much money trying to make him well and now deeply regret allowing him to have any injections. Never again.
How is your dog now?
@@anoodono1841 He has a skin condition that irritates him. I need to bathe him in special shampoo every 2 to 3 days as the skin condition makes him smell bad. He is allergic to most dog foods. Right now I have him on a kangaroo limited ingredient one which he seems to tolerate so far. He is very susceptible to ear infections. However he is a very sweet and happy dog despite his trials.
The more I hear about this issue, the more I believe it has to be food allergies plaguing my beautiful schmoobadoo GSD.
My dog started getting these problems like your dog in that photo, after moving to the country , I started wondering After seeing one coyote with out hair running up my hill , we couldn't figure out what kind of beast this was, looking at photos of coyotes with the mango, it was a coyote, this mange seems to spread around, he must be walking around looking for my little corgi dog to have for lunch, I know they are nasty, I try not to get far from my front door . I'm going to ask my veterinarian for that stuff revolution . That you so much , thank you ❤
My dog ears get Rae and bloody and her whole body gets rid and itchy! Nothing has helped. I was even told to put her down but she is a happy healthy itchy dog
What kind of fish
It will be nice if u write the formula bc u speack pretty fast
Dr. Jones I rescued a Lab 5 months ago and she has terrible anxiety and allergies. The vet has been giving her Cytopoint. What are your thoughts regarding this medicine?
Thank you
Dr. Jones, what are your thoughts on the hair follicle tests you mail in and get results of possible allergies? Example: 5 Stands
Hi have you done a video on grass allergies? Thank you
Good idea
Yes...my vet says my dog has grass allergies. Licks his inflamed paws, and staph broke out on his belley. Doctor has him on prednisone and an antibiotic. He says it may break out again every allergy season. Our Florida grass is mostly weeds, which survive our hot summers, but are terrible allergens. Please give us an info video on grass allergies. Thanks so much!
Yes please! Need a grass allergy video
Ive tried literally everything over last 5 years hes now 9,, im so done,,
Just got a dog that has a skin problem, not sure if this is right spelling Apalasi, any natural or food remedy? Thank you, love your videos
Dr Jones where can I buy those garlic capsules?
What is your opinion over food insensitivity tests for pets? Vs food allergy testings
Can you do raw garlic?
Most all the garlic supplements have other ingredients like magnesium in them
What do you suggest for seasonal allergies watery eyes
What would u recommend for fungal ?
Check some articles we have: veterinarysecrets.com/?s=fungal+
My question to you, my dog seems to be allergic to everything! Pollen drops sent him off, house dust... If I have a lazy week, foods, fleas (on top of that now) grass, it's never ending. He's on pregnazone everyday year round. It's horrible. I will try everything your suggesting in this video.
My dog seems to only have problems in the summer red bumps, hair falls out. Itchy paws. I believe it's a flea allergy but I don't want to use chemicals. Ans the oils r not working. Nor is the quercetin.
My yorkie had an itchy ear at about 1 yr old. We have tried everything with him. Apoquel, cytopoint, Benadryl, Zyrtec, Claritin, ear washes nothing has helped! I'm at a lose with what to do. I'm going to try green tea and apple cider vinegar. I e loosely tried the ACV but I don't have high hopes for my boy.
Question for you? I would like to give my dogs vitamin d could you tell me what would be the best product. They are both 10 lb Yorkie Maltese and a Yorkie poodle they are 10 years old. I hope you get this thank you

Hi Dr I have a Chihuahua dog started scratching her skin especially her belly and near her ears and also her legs biting her paws. She has also some swollen white like a pimple spots . I wonder what are the reasons for this. Thank you .
I’m dealing with the same issue. I believe my dog is suffering from seasonal
allergies because she has all the classic symptoms. I’ve been feeding home made meals mixed with just food for dogs to give her essential nutrients but I’ve seen bumps then they go away. I’m wondering if it’s mosquitoes too. She’s always indoors but when she goes outside sneezing red nose, ears, itching, and I’m wondering if mosquitoes bites exaggerated the seasonal allergies. Just want my girl to feel better. She’s never had this. She’s 8 and the sneezing starts the minute we try to leave the house. Poor thing thinks I’m punishing her when I don’t take her out and when I bathe her.
I cannot find that exact bottle of aged extract that you have .can you please give me another one that is safe to use. I have notice a lot of them by that brand have lots of other stuff mixed in unless I get the bottle you showed but I cannot find it online. And is it safe to give to a dog with mitral valve disease. Thank you❤
Can I put the apple cider vinegar in her raw food? Rather than water? I appreciate your advice. Thank you
What about oral fluconazole ?
Reason I ask, my son's 14 yr old golden has always struggled with allergies and yeast. We manage it pretty well, but every now and then we have a flare that just goes crazy. Right now, we've tried everything, homeopathic and main stream medicine....nothing's putting a dent in it. His legs are brown, his ears are a mess, and his poor belly looks lavender. He's now opening sores and we're seeing skin damage. I've been researching fluconazole for use in dogs, and it appears to be a cure of last resort. We're very cautious, given his age. Figured I'd ask here, see if anyone had used it or knew how safe or unsafe it might be.
@@canidconsulting5118 I did it and it worked for my dog
If my dog is 100lbs can I give him one whole capsule?
What about leaky gut Doctor? Could this be a cause ? I have one of those itchy fur babies you spoke of .
A vetinary explained to me that skinproblems and allergies often go together with bad gut health and a leaky gut. She said that the output must be good from the dieth the dog is consuming. And that a complete home made fresh meal can help a dog’s gut barrier and skin barrier to recover.
Important is the absence of gluten and conservatives as those are gut damaging ingrediënts
And the importance of omega 3 and 6 in the right ratio, as they will help the skin barrier to recover.
She told me this yesterday as in my area we now have home delivery of home made dogmeals and I had asked her wich menu would be a good choice.
So very good question of the leaky gut!
Yes. This same issue plagues humans.
@@angeliqueruis4520 no need for home-made meals. Just give them RAW meat, organs, & bones. They're carnivores after all, though, for some reason....folk seem to forget that. Folk don't even know why dog is man's best friend. It's because we hunted meat together, plus their unwavering loyalty!
@@socialslacker that’s true, you are right,
DR JONES what do you think about leaky gut and allergies . Would, could it also cause fungal infections?
You're awesome!!!
My dog is allergic to a lot ... I wanted to give her omega fats (she has limping in the front legs), but she is allergic to salmon...all her dinners have sweet potatoes, carrots, free range chicken, coconut oil, turmeric, white rice and Hills Science Diet W/D.
Do you think that is enough? Our vet calls me an amazing dog mom, but I'm feeling compared to a not very high level (my husband says I'm being hard on myself) , but honestly...can I do ANYTHING to help her???
My vet said to get the dog off of ALL kibble. It is full of terrible ingredients. If your dog suffers with yeast infections, you have to cut the carbs out of the food. Yeast thrive on carbs. Dog food bags never mention the percentage of carbs in their food, because if they did... you'd never buy it.
Hills has poor ingredients that cause inflammation. Inflammation is the root to most medical issues. Please stop any foods with corn, rice, grains, barley, soy bean oil, too many peas, sugars, etc. These foods are bad, and cause many problems for dogs and people. I turned my painful disabilities around, and my precious baby's (dog) disabilities around, and other dog's and people's too. Your baby's arthritis pain will virtually go away if you do this. I counsel on the nutrition we need VS what advertising leads us or brainwashes us to believe we need, what big food businesses want us to purchase, what non-educated, in nutrition, Dr.'s and DVM's tell us, and just the simple fact that the population majority are simply unaware, because we trust our FDA, big food companies, advertising, government, and so on, to protect us and to be on our side. But that's why American's, humans and animals, are sick. My dog, myself, other dogs, and other people that cut these dangerous foods out, and more, are happy healthy living proof. Please, also, do not believe everything on the internet. It takes a lot of research to wisely come up with the correct answers. This Vet I like, but the internet is full of opinions trying to look like fact. Be careful. And I think we need to remember, Dr.'s are simply people that carry pride and do not like to admit they don't know. Therefore, they use what they've been told/marketed to them, to give an answer, instead of swallowing the pride and admitting they don't know. But we still have each other's backs. I appreciate Dr. Jones he has helped me learn and research more on allergies, and helped heal my precious baby's allergies. Thank you Dr.
Could you do one on cats with allergies?
My 16 yr old Yorkie/Pug mix is starting to chew on warts or moles! To the point of them sometimes bleeding.The vet said there’s nothing to worry about and they are harmless but I hate to see him chewing on them I tried an e collar but he can still reach a couple of them. Can you suggest any help please?
Isn't garlic toxic for dogs? Won't the aged garlic capsule harm him?
Take time to check this: veterinarysecrets.com/?s=garlic
mine is on zertec daily
Dr. Jones we moved from CA to AL and our dog began itching immensely after our move! She had been on all medications to stop the itch but still itches. UGH. In CA it is rather rare, I understand to have incidences of Heart Worm so she never was on this medication but after we got to AL because our dog is on incontenance meds I went to the Vet early and was informed of the Heart Worm in our state. After she started this meds she started itchin like CRAZY. DO you agree this med can cause this side affect?
I would like to send you a picture of my dogs tail.
We went to the vet, and she(the vet) stayed in the corner and wouldn't touch my dog.
I can't find that specific Kyolic....
My dog is allergic to chicken but still scratches so im at present trying beef and rice with a little conut oil been on this for a few wk and she still scratching im now thinking it may be the flea and worming tablet off my vet
Is the garlic toxic to the dogs
I tried everything including the apple cider vinegar and nothing is working.
Can you give info on what's safe for cats with skin allergies?
Raw meat for carnivores. Liver is highest source of vitamin A, which is best vitamin for skin health.
Dr. Jones, I emailed you via the support email and I tweeted at you, have a question about one of your videos and really need quick advice, what is the best way to get in touch with you?
My dog has environmental allergies. I had him tested and food is not his problem. He is on steroids because apoquel did not work for him and he still is itchy.
my dog has a ear infection since 1 year...nothing helps...many times i go to the vet....but no medic works...
What do you do for a dog who has pimples
Clean their diet up, same as for humans. Feed your carnivore pet the appropriate RAW meat diet, not processed kibble junk.
Give fish oil for itching dogs thanks
Krill oil is also a good option as it has better bioavailability and lesser toxin contamination than fish oil. 😊

I thought garlic is toxic to dogs??
Can be given on low portions
I saw the best results with my dog with a bee pollen and clean diet , local bee pollen starts working in a couple days
That's good to hear
Hi Dr Jones thanks so much. I want to give him a good homemade diet. I want to give him vitamins too but not seafood eg mussels in it as they upset him.. what do u think is good overall multi vits for senior dog. ?
I know Dr Jones has already put up a video on a great home-made diet for your dog. Take a look & I'm sure you'll find it not so long ago.
@@ClariceAust thanks Helene. But it's the multivits I'm more interested to find out. A lot of senior dog multivits have shellfish in them but my dogs stomach does like them.
